Does anyone have a Windows RT Recovery Drive for Dell XPS10

[quoclht]

Ah, will check later if it is possible to create a 8.1 recovery drive similar to the recovery partition that has 8.0 on it.

Thank you very much!

See solution here: Windows RT 8.1 upgrade fails with Boot Configuration error | Annoying stuff I figured out (or am trying to)

I have found a possible way to create an 8.1 recovery image but I need access to a tab with the recovery partition still in place, I've deleted mine.

Will check with some people I know that also have the XPS 10

Update: I found one with the recovery partition still intact, will upgrade it to 8.1 this weekend and create a new USB recovery image from it

Busy uploading the 8.1 recovery image.

I had to cancel the upload over the weekend as I had a Exchange server failure at a client and had to use my connection to work remotely and the upload was killing my connection.

I have restarted the upload this morning.

Could someone here help me out?

I have an Dell XPS 10 tablet. I tried to upgrade but it failed. Now when I turn it on it says: Error: failed to find bootable option. When I plugged in the USB Restore it keeps saying trying to boot from external USB. Then after a while I get an error code 0x0000000 something like this. Any suggestions?

Im dutch so excuse me for any type errors.

Parameters:
0x00000110
0x05250631

The restore file from Microsoft's site is for the Surface RT.

Try using the restore image I posted earlier in this thread.

Been having some really hectic weather this side, thuderstorms etc, struggling to keep my connection up long enough to finish uploading the file.

This weekend's weather is looking good so might be able to get it up over the weekend.

Are you using WinRAR5?

 

[quoclht]

Are you using WinRAR5?

Yes, I am.

I was successful to join those parts by using RarZilla. But I can not use the image, it was damaged because reagent.xml is 0 bytes (992 bytes on Windows 8.0 image) and I copied the whole image into my USB, it was only over 2 Gbs (over 3 Gbs on Windows 8.0 image). Please help me! Thank you very much!

Thanks Memitim for uploading the RT 8.1 image.

Now I only need to know how to apply that image to the Recovery Partition. I know you can use it from USB drive, but I'd like the recovery partition to work.

Here's how I got a "broken" Dell XPS 10 tablet up and running:

I purchased the tablet from someone who didn't got it to work after updating. The tablet wouldn't start anymore. I managed to download the Windows RT 8.0 Recovery USB Image from earlier in this thread. I used the 'Win32Disk Imaging tool' to install this image on a USB drive. I booted with this and I could successfully access the Advanced recovery options. I started the Command Prompt and launched Diskpart. I saw all of the partitions where gone (!). So I used Diskpart to re-install all of the partitions using the Microsoft standard (I found these commands in the Surface RT Recovery Files provided by Microsoft). It looks like this:

convert gpt
 create partition primary size=450
 set id=DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC
 gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
 format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
 assign letter=T
 create partition efi size=200
 format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
 assign letter=S
 create partition msr size=128
 create partition primary 
 shrink minimum=4200
 gpt attributes=0x0000000000000000
 format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows"
 assign letter=W
 create partition primary 
 set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
 gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
 format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery image"
 assign letter=R
 rescan
 exit

All went well. After recreating the partitions, I used the DISM command line tool to deploy the *.wim image on the USB drive to the Windows partition and installed the bootloader afterwards with the BOOTBCD command line tool. The tablet was fixed after this I installed Windows RT 8.0 and updated to Windows 8.1 RT afterwards without problems .
So, this is great news. But like I said, I would like to make sure there is a Full Recovery option available on the tablet itself, which recovers the Tablet to Windows 8.1 RT 'factory default' when using the 'Refresh' option without using a USB drive. The Windows Installation and the 8.1 update doesn't create these Recovery files automatically on the Recovery Partition.

So, when you finish uploading a good 8.1 RT recovery Image, I'm gonna attempt re-creating the recovery partition and the WinRE tools.
